3 articles · Updated · Computerworld · Sep 7
Summary
Google highlighted 16 built-in Gmail features aimed at speeding up inbox work, centered on attachment previews, hover actions, keyboard shortcuts and snoozing tools.
Several tips focus on reducing clicks: users can preview attachments from the inbox, archive or delete messages from hover controls, and use shortcuts to expand threads, open Contacts or mark mail unread.
The guide also emphasizes composing efficiency, including custom shortcuts, Send & Archive, draft-discard commands and formatting hotkeys for lists, quotes and indentation.
Snoozing gets the broadest treatment, with instructions for delaying single or multiple emails on desktop, revisiting them in the Snoozed folder, and assigning swipe actions in the mobile app.
The article, first published in 2018 and updated in September 2026, targets Gmail's web version while pointing readers toward labels as the next step in inbox organization.
